We are so lucky to have such great friends here in central Texas. We've been blessed with great acquaintances from church, work, and even neighbors. Savannah has quite a few little people her age to play with on a regular basis.
At least once a week, on Thursday mornings, Savannah is able to have playtime with girls her age from church as we participate in a babysitting/playgroup exchange. This has been a major benefit to me lately as I go to the OB every two weeks and it's much easier not hauling Savannah along. There are three of us that do this exchange so it's very manageable to host and keeps the kids entertained as they watch and interact with each other. Here is a picture of Savannah with her friends from church.
The first time we hosted was interesting because Savannah was having to share not only my attention but her toys as well with her friends. But each of the girls have gone through this and every time it gets easier... So about the time that we get this all figured out, our new baby will come and throw us off schedule :-) . This past Thursday was my turn to host the playgroup while their moms had some time to themselves. Only one of our little friends joined us for the 1.5 hr, so we missed our other friend but we really had a good time. I am so grateful to our friends for spearheading this genius plan and for being so supportive and loving to us all. It's been a great blessing and a lot of fun for Savannah to be able to continue to interact with kids her age since leaving school.

What a fun idea! She will be so used to sharing that hopefully she wont mind sharing you with the new baby. Thanks for the update. She is getting so big. Hugs and kisses!
I think this is a wonderful idea, so each mom has time on her own. Its amazing what you can accomplish without having to worry about a little one. Fun for all !
Thanks for the updates, we've missed them.
Love, your momma
Hey there,
I thought I was caught up on things with your blog. I had missed the last two postings! I'm glad you enjoyed the adventure to sea world & around other sights. Good memories in that area of TX for me too. (: Yes, great idea with the exchange. Our ward has talked about this idea off & on. I think mainly b/c they're are waaay too many rowdy (different aged) boys. yikes. hmm we'll see. love,
Chelsea
